[How Do I:] Create and Call a Simple Web Service in ASP.NET

In this video Chris Pels will show how to create a web service in ASP.NET and then call the service from another ASP.NET web site. First, learn how to create an .asmx component which represents a web service in an ASP.NET web site. When creating the web service learn how to control several aspects of the web service functionality with web service attributes. Next, see how to test the web service in the Visual Studio web service test page. Then learn how ASP.NET allows many .NET data types to be returned from a web service. Create a business class library project and then use a class in that project as a return value from a web service by serializing the custom business object instance. Finally, see how to consume a web service from an ASP.NET web site.

I am new to webservice, and found this video pretty easy and useful for beginners. Is there any video that has webservice reading from Database and displaying data as a XML file?

Manmadhan : On April 07, 2008 7:31 PM said:

I tried working the VB Code in C# and I am not able to run the web page with "Label1.Text = wsCustomer.GetCustomerName(33);" in default.aspx.cs. I recieved the output string as localhost.CustomerClass.

I changed the line to "WSCustomer.CustomerName(2).CustomerName" and go the output. Did anyone faced the same issue?

Manmadhan : On April 07, 2008 7:33 PM said:

I tried to work in C# along with the video. I created a default website, default.aspx.cs and coded as mentioned. I received the output as "localhost.CustomerClass". When I changed from "TextBox2.Text = WSCustomer.CustomerName(2)" to "TextBox2.Text = WSCustomer.CustomerName(2).CustomerName", I got the output. Did anyone face the same issue?

Chris, thanks. Excellent for newbies. You started talking about getting data (customer name) from a database. I am interested in that and wonder if you or anyone help me with an example web service that reads data from a MS SQL database on the same machine please. I am new to web service and having problems. Thanks all.

tutu : On July 31, 2009 1:38 PM said:

Hi Chris, This tutorial is wonderful but I wondered if you can show how one can connect to a database and retrieve information given a value within a web service please.
